put labor people on committees. They don't do anything. Somebody has to do it for them and then they s quawk. Then you have to listen to them squawk. Then you have to make some modifications, usually word modifications that don't have much meaning.

There may be some good old man in the union who would be fine if you could find him, and who would really enter into an economic analysis of the situation, but for the most part the people who rise to the top are the bargainers - the good bargainers, the clever organizers, the publicity men.
